Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper!
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

Thanks a lot, Andrea, now I'm hungry for waffles. Nice metallic effect and interesting bits visible in zoom.

What a spectacular design; the water with bits of greenery adds so much interest. Wonderful photo!

This IS the digifiddled one! I've added the link to the original. I didn't think anyone would be interested.

saw both versions, and they're both beautiful in different ways. The unpostworked version shows more color, and more definition in the little 'things' in each indentation. Your postworked version makes it more of a unified abstract. Warhol did pieces like this, where he varied each segment in subtle ways, while maintaining the sameness throughout. I love the sense of cellular variation in both of these, Andrea; and the postworked version, as I say, unifies it. Wonderful abstract work. I really like these.
(Here's one example of Warhol's version of this type of art: One of his famous coke bottle pieces ((all painted)). If you look at the bottom rows, you'll see he painted the coke in various impossible configurations---physically impossible---to play with our idea of variation and pattern. It's monotonous; but when you see them in person, they have a strange monumentality. Be sure to zoom, even though the jpg is poor.... http://www.popandroll.com/coke-art/Coca-Cola-Art_Andy-Warhol_Green_Coca-Cola_Bottles.jpg
